Cradle Of Filth - To Eve The Art Of Witchcraft

Album title Dani Filth explained the album's title in This title represents mankind's obsession with sin and self. The thorn combines images of that which troubled Christ, the Crown of Thorns , thus intimating man's seeming desire to hurt God and also of the protecting thorn and the need to enclose a secret place or the soul from attack.

An addiction to self-punishment or something equally poisonous. An obsession with cruelty. The title can also represent a sexual attraction to religious iconography as in the case of the "possessed" Loudun nuns. I like the title because to me it invokes images of a darker, sexier pre-Raphaelite scene wherein Sleeping Beauty 's castle is won and she is awoken by a poisonous kiss. A darker, more adult fairytale. A replacement was soon forthcoming, although numerous CD booklets had already been printed with the original image.

Filth stated in an interview with Metal Hammer that the controversy was over the nakedness of the female figure's legs on the original cover: The nymph's skirt was a little longer. It was like a game of spot the difference". A lot of Americans are really religious and Roadrunner were basically saying that Wal-Mart was not going to take Cradle albums with that on the cover.

But Wal-Mart never takes Cradle albums anyhow, so it doesn't make any difference. There are quite a few guitar solos on this album. To be honest, I've never really classed myself as a lead player as such, but this is the first time I've sat down and seriously practiced lead work. I've been so involved in actually writing new material and coming up with song structures that I haven't had time to practice all the frilly things that go on top of it.

Up 'till now, there hasn't really been much room for guitar solos as such. The riffs we write, they're not riffs that are meant to be soloed on top of. They're melodic within themselves. But I'm a great believer that less is definitely more.

I love listening to all the shreddy , widdly stuff, but I have no interest in playing it. This new album is quite guitar-orientated. The last album was, but this is definitely more melodic. Dare I say it, there are quite a lot of typical Maiden -esque harmonies in there.

He is the epitome of the turmoil and chaos of the end time. He characterizes mankind's warmongering nature and every attribute that is in conflict with stability and peace. He is Armageddon made flesh. The idea behind the song is that even the most ardent supporter of peace can be drawn into violent conflict if their faith is shattered beyond repair.

The title reflects the onset of spiritual darkness that pervades and eventually clouds the mind through irrevocable grief and irretrievable loss. Without sounding too political, one can draw a parallel with the current clime of terrorism, where normally peaceful religious groups are being incensed to hatred.

She is sexy, erudite and possessed of an extraordinary wit, but this is counterbalanced by an unhealthy appetite for self-destruction and flights of morbid fancy, brought on by dark secrets, terribly chic drugs and wild, sexual abandonment. She is a gluttonous Miss Muffet ; the fairy-tale girl who ate the Big Bad Wolf ; and the beauty who slept with one eye on the coming talent.

Libertina Grimm is every goth girl's coven mistress. Ville Valo from HIM was asked to contribute vocals to this song, partly due to the need for a good clean male vocal, but mainly to have Byron portrayed by someone who may be the modern day equivalent. If the concept of an all-encompassing God is to be believed, then why should it not be also believed that his will could turn grim and ' old testament ' on the self-professed prophets who war in his name?

The lyrics in this case are set in a time when Mina is irrevocably lost to him and he is pining for his immortal beloved. This song is a blend of gothic romance and balls-to-the-wall thrash. Using religious iconography as a theme once again and flirting with more modern tragedy , this song deals not only with the notion of despair and spiritual death, but also, far more importantly, with the resurrection , twice as strong, of the broken individual.

The lyrics in this song are very reminiscent of Cradle's earlier works where Pagan imagery is imbued with strong female characteristics. The lyrics' morbid cadence hint at the author's bewitched state of mind. Several further tracks were prepared during the Thornography sessions, but not finished until after the album's release. These were later added to the expanded Harder, Darker, Faster: The title was stolen from the lyrics of "Cemetery and Sundown".

This has been remixed and remastered , so it sounds a bit better than it did on the Underworld: Evolution soundtrack, which was the only place it was available prior to this. Now it sounds a bit more like a symphonic "Nymphetamine". It could have come from V Empire ; it's really fast and brutal, with some nice drop-downs and weird bits. It is included as a bonus track on the Japanese release of the album.

Harry also stars in the promo video for the track, which was released a week before the album as a digital single. A press release by Liv Kristine announced that "Stay" would be Kristine's second guest vocal spot with the band following "Nymphetamine".

Paul Allender later confirmed however that the duet never actually took place, although versions were recorded with both Harry and Sarah Jezebel Deva. Early reports during the album's production process mentioned a track called "The Flora of Nightfall, The Fauna of War".
